Creating a Sequence

Rules for Creating a Script Sequence (Interplay | Production)
Keep in mind the following rules when creating a sequence that you want to associate with a
story (referred to as a script sequence):
• When creating a new sequence that you want to associate with a story, first open the
Sequence pane, then click the Open Sequence button to associate the sequence with the
story.
If a story does not have a sequence associated with it, and the Sequence pane is not
displayed, clicking the Open Sequence button opens the Sequence pane. The pane is labeled
“Sequence.” To create a sequence associated with a story, click the Open Sequence button
again. The Sequence pane is labeled with the title of the story.
• You cannot create a sequence for a story unless the story has a title (labeled Slug).
• If the Autoload Sequence option is enabled, you can create a sequence by opening the
Sequence pane and either clicking the Open Sequence button or navigating to a story that
already has a title.
• If the Autoload Sequence option is disabled, you must create a sequence by opening the
Sequence pane and clicking the Open Sequence button.
• The sequence is not created in the Interplay Production database until you drag the first clip
into the Sequence pane.
• You cannot send a sequence to playback until a video ID is present.
Sequences Associated with Stories in Instinct and NewsCutter
MediaCentral UX supports viewing and editing sequences that were associated with a story in
Avid Instinct. Sequences edited in MediaCentral UX cannot be displayed in Avid Instinct after
they are edited.
MediaCentral UX does not support viewing and editing sequences associated with a story in the
News Cutter NRCS tool. The sequence is displayed as a production cue, but does not open in the
Sequence pane. You can open the sequence from the Interplay Production database in the Assets
pane and edit it like other sequences created in Avid editing applications, according to the same
rules (see
“Opening and Editing an Existing Sequence in the Sequence Pane” on page 116).
